replaceing couch

[blknomad]

I have a 2014 Itasca sunstar that has the crapola couch with the section that slides out. I would like to know what any of you have replaced one of these with. I would like real world information no suggestions please. Pictures would be nice.

I have a 30T Sunstar. Walked into Lazy Days parts store today looking for a sewer hose; spotted a Eurochair swivel recliner with the leg rest attached in Lazy Boy style. Business apparently slow. Sales rep came over to the RV Park with me to look at the couch. Said he would help remove, and in about 20 minutes had it down to a couple of lag screws.
Went back to the store, bought two chairs and they delivered them 20 minutes later, took the couch out, and brought the chairs inside.

Note, the slide is not deep enough for the Euro style chair to recline if the base is fully inside the carpeted area - not a "wall hugger" style. Slide floor is above the coach floor so to enable recline I had to slide the base ring to extend about 8 inches beyond the slide floor. To stabilize I put 3 of the plastic leveling blocks under the front of each ring. Bingo! Hokey looking, but works. At some point I'll construct a circular segment, covered with carpet so it will slide, and attach it to the slide floor so they move as one.

Mastercraft in Shipshewana makes RV furniture. They are the greatest people to work with. Will make anything you want. They sold us fabric to recover our captains chairs up front and then put us in touch with a person who would do the work. She actually works for them and moonlights on the side doing upholstery work. Large showroom on the highway right in Shipshewana. They also sell hide-a-beds for RV's with air mattresses, etc.

We had 2 full sized couches and replaced 1 with 2 Euro chairs with foot stools. Actually bought them from Countryside Interiors in OR and they took out the couch and eventually sold it on consignment. Sweet deal to say the least

On my Raptor toy hauler 5th wheel, I removed the couch/bed/torture device in pieces and bought 2 "Best Brand" swivel rocker recliners. Had ring bases, were the petite size and model. Fit great, like the LB, the backs came off and very comfortable to sit and even nap. I saved the couch assembly and put it back in when I sold it. Sold the recliners separately on CL.

That is exactly what I did last month. I had to take the back off the couch to get it out the door. I think it was 4 bolts to take back off. Then removed backs off two LazyBoy recliners and took them through the door. Both the couch and the recliners were a tight fit even with back off.

Just be mindful about the only clearence you may have to get something different into the area is your unit door... Some folks I have heard have to take out a window or something to get something bigger and better inside the RV...

I would want know what would fit and how to get it all inside before dumping money on changing something...
